Dew is the term used for the formation of moisture on the very important
transport section such as the head and the capstan when the deck is
used in places where the humidity is high, subjected to sudden
changes in temperature or moved from a cold place to a warm one. If
the deck is used when dew is present, the tape will stick to the head
and be ruined or tape will not be transported properly. In such cases. do
not use the deck for approximately one hour until the deck is acclima-
tized.
